    Hi,

    I want to be able to make a very simple admin login, but how do i make it secure does anyone have any reliable resources?

    I want to create the admin panel "www.website.com/admin/login.php".

    It should require the username and password of the admin so they can login and edit options to do with the main website, like add/edit/delete content etc.

    Thanks

    If you want solution without coding, just to protect "admin" folder, you can go to your hosting cPanel and find "Password Protect Directories".
    Here's another PHP solution -> http://www.homeandlearn.co.uk/php/php14p2.html

    Cheers!

    euro-space is right. However if you want to develop something from scratch, then I would suggest you download and install wordpress instead. You can get great themes for it. and everything is already there. So you just have to install with a couple of clicks, and your site will be ready. It has tutorials and instructions everywhere. PM me if you need more help with it.

    Thanks
